Howto Reverse SEF URL to NON-SEF URL?

[kfci]

I have the requirement to find out the NON-SEF URL for any given joomla page for a custom plugin I am writing.

I have the SEF URL delivered to my plugin, which is actually the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] global variable and need to find the internal NON-SEF URL for this variable.

I have started reverse engineering the JRoute and router.php part of Joomla, but thought someone might help direct me to the answer easily?

Below is my code so far: -

Code: Select all

$Referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
$Internal_Referer = ????;

Once I have the internal/non-sef URL for the referer I can perform the rest of my work, which mainly involves checking the component which the content refers to and then depending on that my plugin will display certain information or not.

I'm not sure if I need to use jimport/directly import the router.php?

Any help much appreciated.

Did you ever reach a conclusion to your project?
Were you able to reverse-lookup via the JRoute::_()?

This worked for me in Joomla! 2.5.5.

Code: Select all

$Referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

$router =& JSite::getRouter();
$router->setMode(0); // Set mode to Parse RAW URL.
$u =& JURI::getInstance( $Referer );
$routingArray = $router->parse($u);

// Debugging.
echo "<pre>";
print_r($routingArray);
echo "</pre>";

Have you tried jrequest::getvar ()

@Per -- sorry; how does that apply? I certainly use JRequest::getVar() regularly, but I'm trying to work with JRoute::_() here.

(Thanks, @hotdogsushi!!)

Code: Select all

$u =& JURI::getInstance( $Referer );

Be careful with it, J router remove current strlen(basepath) from JUri::_path, so if you have link without basepath and access it from the page with basepath the _path will be cutted wrong. Add a little fix

Code: Select all

$uri = &JURI::getInstance( $Referer );
$base = JURI::base( true );
if( !empty($base) ){
	$uri->setPath( $base.'/'.$uri->getPath() );
}
